About mcp-youtube

This server lets your chat assistant read YouTube videos through their captions. It pulls subtitle files from any link and sends the text to Claude so you can get quick, accurate summaries right in your chat window.

README

YouTube MCP Server

Uses yt-dlp to download subtitles from YouTube and connects it to claude.ai via Model Context Protocol. Try it by asking Claude, "Summarize the YouTube video <<URL>>". Requires yt-dlp to be installed locally e.g. via Homebrew.

How do I get this working?

  1. Install yt-dlp (Homebrew and WinGet both work great here)
  2. Now, install this via mcp-installer, use the name @anaisbetts/mcp-youtube
